Abstract

An array substrate, a display panel and a display device, including at least two gate lines in a display area, a gate driving circuit and at least two gate fan-out lines in a non-display are described. One end of each of the gate fan-out lines are electrically connected with one signal output of the gate driving circuit and the other end of each of the gate fan-out lines are electrically connected with the gate lines. By configuring a first gate fan-out line of the gate fan-out lines and the gate driving circuit to have an overlapping area outside a mutual connection area, an area where the gate fan-out lines are overlaps the gate driving circuit, space occupied by the first gate fan-out line outside the gate driving circuit is decreased to shorten a distance between the gate driving circuit and the display area.
